Twelve days later, she was sunk by USS Intrepid, USS Essex and USS Bunker Hill aircraft
on February 16, 1944. Heavy casualty resulted from the attacks. Three bomb
hits loosened the ship from the reef into deeper water, and sank
her on February 17, 1944.
Shipwreck
Yet to be found. The wreck probably lies in very deep water.
